Show NO WORK NOW AT STEEL PLANT The people of Utah county and the state should discourage the idea of applicants from far-off states and communities coming into Provo to seek employment in the steel plant industry at this time, according to Thomas Pierpont. Some of these people comet from Canada, and as far east as Massachusetts. Some of them are without means and they are depending upon immediate work for the support of their families. The fact is that work on the plant, will progress slowly until May or June, said Mr. Pierpont, and there will probably be need for only fifty teams and 200 men until this time Perhaps when the construction is in full swing there will be a chance for 400 or 500 men, but until that time it is a gamble chance to think of work at the mills. Utah and Utah county have plenty of materials to do the preliminary construction work at the plant, and if they will take advantage of these opportunities there will be no problem prob-lem of feeding the unemployed. The Chamber of Commerce of Provo Pro-vo City has already signed up 200 names for work and they have discontinued dis-continued to sign any more because that number can handle, the work at present.
